Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and
then click System.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
Under System Failure, select the check boxes that correspond to the actions
that you want Windows to perform if a sever error occurs.
Uncheck "Automatically restart"

If a error occurs again, Windows will show the BSOD with problem details.
There you can identify which driver is causing the issue.

Hi

If you don't see any error messages, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under Startup and
Recovery and disable 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC reboots,
you should see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code from the
BSOD?

Also, please have a look in the Event Viewer to see if any entries there may
refer to the problem.

turn off the screen saver! Seriously turn off the screen saver!!! It
is keeping the screen running and wasting energy, learn to use the OFF
button on the monitor. Seriously it sounds like the screen saver is
giving you troubles, does it happen if you change the screen saver to
soemthing else? Or just with that one?
SERIOUSLY use the OFF button!!! Monitors use ALOT of energy!
Computers running 24/7 use like a 40 watt light bulb, add in the
monitor and you are using like several 150 watt light bulbs.
